The boy Linacre

So I went to Bristol, Plymouth but not Millwall (but heard about it from my lad). I've said it on a few places on here, Coady & Vestergaard kept a clean sheet for 120 mins against a Prem side and he went right back to Faes. We have been regularly rubbish in the League since & Faes was right in my line as he ran (not sprinted) across to cover Friday, didn't close down and gifted them a goal after we dominated for 20 mins. My drive was 9hrs round trip!!!!! IN the BIN till the end of the season IF we turn it around, Daka (sadly for me) has to warm the bench. Maybe start with Dennis. Marcal played really well at the Vitality and has not had 1 minute since, IF the wingers are knackered not performing. DON'T be afraid to hook 1 or 2 off after 45 mins, and get 5 on whatever, if it ain't happening AND NOT in the 87th minute at Millwall or just watch it all go by at Ashton Gate. The rest are gifting it to us and we are BOTTLING it. He has Yunus, Nach, Nelson, Albrighton, Marcal, Justin + what he has been picking. Stick to the formula, don't get promoted directly, lose in the play offs somewhere and be sacked and likely go back to AM OR Be bold, realise you only need to have probably 3 good results in 4, maybe even 2 wins and a draw if you are VERY VERY LUCKY, probably 3 wins and we are up. But if the team you select week after week don't look like winning you have 5 yes 5 subs to turn it around. ALL OF THEM, ALL OF THEM ARE TOTALLY MENTALLY WEAK, luckily so are Leeds & Ipswich have hit the wall. FOXES NEVER quit

He has to accommodate others in the team BUT if he bought into the Leicester story and journey this season, and I generally really rate him highly, looking for more defence splitting passes but aside from that, he's fine. BUT this is an England International with history in Serie A too, just turned 28. IF we don't go up where does the last 5 years of his career go??? So under those auspices, get driving this team forward player, whether leading by example OR by cajoling the others for ONLY 5 GAMES!!!!, maybe even 4 might do it!!! You can lead them to the top flight, WANT to make it happen!!!

Sadly we need to live in the moment, got to get up first or it will be absolute carnage. So Premier League Football. 5 games to go, they are top for some reason, can't they just all go sod it, win 4 out of 5, 3 at home and we'll have the choice of staying or leaving and even playing in the top flight and THEY ALL want to do that. And it will be more attractive to any offered to come here. Next hurdle is then the financial, but the money difference of being in the Prem is on a different planet to us playing QPR next year etc.

And aside from the points deduction, unless there is wholesale personnel changes IF we go up, that lot or most of it, will get severely found out REPEATEDLY in the Prem. Many of them have some serious confidence and intelligence issues and desire. Last night was about who wanted it more, we know the answer, and then its the bosses job to change it. I was at Ashton Gate, he didn't have clue. Presume by what I have seen last night was repeated.

And Coady & Jannik played 120 mins against a Prem side AWAY & we didn’t concede, ????

1973 FA Cup Final replay tonight, will take the same score now!!!

We will concede, as we almost do without fail now, and we look less clinical up front currently BUT was there in Jan for the cup and think we will nick it 2-1, expect and hope the same on Friday, as picked De Mont for Weller BUT will be there on Friday.

Everything you say is totally right here. You err on the side of caution AND if you have the SLIGHTEST doubt, you walk away, the choice is plentiful out there. OR even you get by with what you have and it might be enough. One player will not decide a teams performance on the levels we have been at in the last 4 years. Fans/Club get desperate for one player like Sensi for example, yes we have gone backwards BUT promotion is still in OUR hands & we had an encouraging win against one of the Div's better teams on Monday. Top taking his eye off the ball over 3-4 years, but it may not be his personal/business priority but then his lieutenants need to treat the clubs money not like confetti, and do the job in his absence. We shouldn't have bumped up Brendan's salary when the press shouted Arsenal, that was why we were stuck with him at the end, maybe we would have got shot earlier and then not gone down, he might even have been more motivated on a lower salary. Then Fofana got injured & we panicked with the pointless Bertrand & not FPL level Jannik, along with Soumare & Daka, so the transfer purse string owner & chooser, needs to go. Again Souttar, Kristensen & Tete, were ok to start but not enough to keep us up and Tete was a joke. Who was responsible for that & the massive salaries mean none will walk & we can't push understandably because nobody will buy. Get up and get the premier league money, got to be in it to win it, Luton, Burnley & Sheff U have been poor, slight chance we might be better and importantly we buy ourselves time and much additional income to make this better or right. And the stadium won't be full next season IF we don't go up and all the quality has to be got rid of, and mid or lower table mediocrity beckons, see Stoke.

I saw the first link last night but was going out so didn't look at anymore, which has made me not kneejerk react. At this point most of us understand very little about this, not sure the club are clear, as are the PL or EFL. We just need to give this some time to settle and get to the truth, media talk is speculation and perceptions. Make sure we ideally finish 1st or 2nd at worst, see if that gets us up and then take it from there. This just has to all calm down, as so few are truly informed, and that is ALL parties, fans, club, governing bodies, press/social, the lot. Lets get to the actual facts and then we can ALL try and deal with it!!!

RWC Super Saturday Murray

With only 1739, how far is this going?? 520/501 OR All STH's??? I'm very keen to go

Time to rest Wout, for 2 years he has either gone to ground heroically when he hasn't read the game early & well enough and got there too late, blamed others and just made the same mistakes repeatedly for nearly 2 seasons now. Both Coady and Nelson are better options currently, Coady played 120 mins against Bournemouth A (clean sheet) and looked ok yesterday in a 10, and Nelson is the future. BUT we did not concede 2 goals this season until mid Dec against Millwall & then Birmingham. Including Middllesbrough, we have conceded twice in 5 out of the last 7 games & we have stopped scoring heavily, simple maths really tells us we will and have stopped winning games!!!! Certainly something is wrong at the back AND we have options. But we need to stop conceding 2 goals a game, reduce that to 1 and we will most of the last 9, starting with this.

Everybody's right but we did beat Bournemouth away 1-0 too

Most of the personnel have changed but we have the same mentality as the last 1/3 of last season, FEAR. 3 great chances 1st 10 mins and the keeper had next to nothing to do rest of the game. They are lazy as they don’t kick on anymore when they take the lead. Just going backwards all the time. This is totally up for grabs now even though we are 3 clear. Wont be an enjoyable watch when we should have coasted it with the lead we had. That’s Lestah!!!

How many tickets will we sell for this? Will it get to 6k???

Based on this logic looking Sat 12.30, will the tickets go on sale next week OR the week after as I am on holiday next week?

Points in the bag, Bristol Or just spread them across the 2 games, 5 subs when all said and done.

And Tuesday night showed they can man up, Coady played well & they looked good as a pair against a Premier League side. Is now the time for him to start a game again with Jannik? Marcal had a great game and really grew into it and will have the confidence after a poor first half & game against Birmingham, looks ready as Mcateer is going backwards. Yunus looked passionate and really up for it. Choudhury has just had 2 very good performances back to back Plus the returning Winks, KDH, Stephy, Wout, Mads Only players off colour are Doyle & Cannon. Champions & Wembley, c'mon!!!

He's backed it up, thats important, he was pretty decent Friday in a cauldron & yes very good last night, good engine too, when lots were blowing out of their rear ends

Dick? TBF He has been an actual revelation. He was brilliant on Friday, and last night, for me that was the acid test, a prem team. Passed with flying colours. The run at the end when he tried to "dink" it over the keeper, comedy gold, but brilliant of course. Enzo's style TOTALLY suits him and brings out the best of him.

Now that was an away trip!!! Marcel brilliant 2nd half & Extra time, pleased he turned it around after poor at Birmingham & 1st half tonight. Top kudos to all of them, really dogged it out & probably created the better chances, Cov A then Wembley

Will we know TV Change BEFORE they go on sale, see last current TV game is 23rd March, so assume we will??? That times great for me, can then do get back & do something with my weekend.

Any away pubs near the ground rather than in the city centre?

And they have had more possession & shots & corners, deserve a point!!!
